Calculate the mass in GeV/c2 of a virtual carrier particle that has a range limited to 10−30 m by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Such a particle might be involved in the unification of the strong and electroweak forces.
Imagine our universe contains a massive thermal relic particle species. To what fun-damental force does the interaction strength of this species need to be comparable inorder to most nearly match the observed abundance of cold dark matter?(a) Strong nuclear force(b) Electromagnetism(c) Weak nuclear force(d) Gravitation(e) None of the above
A virtual particle having an approximate mass of 1014 GeV/c2 may be associated with the unification of the strong and electroweak forces. For what length of time could this virtual particle exist (in temporary violation of theconservation of mass-energy as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle)?
